Stephen Curry, Warriors Disappoint NBA Fans in Loss vs. Victor Wembanyama, Spurs

A 17-point third-quarter lead wasn't enough to protect the Golden State Warriors from the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night.

Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs went on a 40-13 run through the final 13 minutes of play to hand Stephen Curry and the Warriors just their fourth loss of the season.

Curry and Wembanyama traded three-point shots late in Saturday night's game as the Spurs chipped away at the Warriors' lead.

Rookie guard Stephon Castle then scored on a 27-foot jumper to pull the Spurs ahead with 3:48 left on the clock.

Curry finished out the night with fewer than 15 points for the third time this season. He recorded 14 points and seven rebounds on 5-of-16 shooting in the loss.

Andrew Wiggins led the Warriors with 20 points, while Draymond Green was held to just one point in the loss.

Wembanyama, who led the Spurs on Saturday night with 25 points and nine assists, recorded three blocks against the Warriors.

He is the first player this season to record multiple blocks in 13 straight games, per ESPN's Michael C. Wright.

The Spurs improve to 9-8 on the season, while the Warriors fall to 12-4 overall.

Curry and the Warriors return to action on Monday against the visiting Brooklyn Nets, while Wembanyama and the Spurs wrap up NBA Cup group stage play with a road game against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday.
